Component CAS-No. Weight %

Polyethylene Hexene Copolymer 25213-02-9 99 - 100

SECTION 4: First aid measures

If inhaled : Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of dust or

fumes from overheating or combustion. If symptoms persist,
call a physician.

In case of skin contact : If the molten material gets on skin, quickly cool in water. Seek
immediate medical attention. Do not try to peel the solidified
material from the skin or use solvents or thinners to dissolve it.

In case of eye contact : In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty
of water and seek medical advice.

If swallowed : Do not induce vomiting without medical advice.

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

Flash point : No data available

Autoignition temperature : No data available

Suitable extinguishing : Water. Water mist. Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
media Foam. If possible, water should be applied as a spray from a
fogging nozzle since this is a surface burning material. The
application of high velocity water will spread the burning
surface layer. Avoid the use of straight streams that may
create a dust cloud and the risk of a dust explosion. Use
extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local
circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Specific hazards during fire : Risks of ignition followed by flame propagation or secondary
fighting explosions can be caused by the accumulation of dust, e.g. on
floors and ledges.

Special protective : Use personal protective equipment. Wear self-contained

equipment for fire-fighters breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

Further information : This material will burn although it is not easily ignited.

Fire and explosion : Treat as a solid that can burn. Avoid generating dust; fine dust
protection dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the
presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion
hazard.

Hazardous decomposition : Normal combustion forms carbon dioxide, water vapor and may
products produce carbon monoxide, other hydrocarbons and
hydrocarbon oxidation products (ketones, aldehydes, organic
SDS Number:100000000588 3/12

acids) depending on temperature and air availability.
Incomplete combustion can also produce formaldehyde.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

Personal precautions : Sweep up to prevent slipping hazard. Avoid breathing dust.

Avoid dust formation.

Environmental precautions : Do not contaminate surface water. Prevent product from

entering drains.

Methods for cleaning up : Clean up promptly by sweeping or vacuum.

Additional advice : Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on

surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture if they are
released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration. Avoid
dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with
compressed air).

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

Handling

Advice on safe handling : Use good housekeeping for safe handling of the product.
Keep out of water sources and sewers.

Spilled pellets and powders may create a slipping hazard.

Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous

condition when handling this material. To minimize this hazard,
bonding and grounding may be necessary, but may not by
themselves be sufficient. At elevated temperatures (>350°F,
>177°C), polyethylene can release vapors and gases, which
are irritating to the mucous membranes of the eyes, mouth,
throat, and lungs. These substances may include
acetaldehyde, acetone, acetic acid, formic acid, formaldehyde
and acrolein. Based on animal data and limited
epidemiological evidence, formaldehyde has been listed as a
carcinogen. Following all recommendations within this SDS
should minimize exposure to thermal processing emissions.

Advice on protection : Treat as a solid that can burn. Avoid generating dust; fine dust
against fire and explosion dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the
presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion
hazard.

Storage

Requirements for storage : Keep in a dry place. Keep in a well-ventilated place.

areas and containers

Advice on common storage : Do not store together with oxidizing and self-igniting products.

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

Ingredients with workplace control parameters

US
Components Basis Value Control parameters Note
Nuisance Dust OSHA Z-3 TWA 15 mg/m3 Total dust
OSHA Z-3 TWA 5 mg/m3 (respirable dust)

Control as Particulate Not Otherwise Classified (PNOC). The ACGIH Guideline* for respirable dust is 3.0 mg/m3 and 10.0 mg/m3
for total dust. The OSHA PEL for respirable dust is 5.0 mg/m3 and 15.0 mg/m3 for total dust.
* This value is for inhalable (total) particulate matter containing no asbestos and < 1.0% crystalline silica.
Engineering measures
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 2), applicable exposure limits, job
activities, and other substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting
personal protective equipment. If engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent
exposure to harmful levels of this material, the personal protective equipment listed below is
recommended. The user should read and understand all instructions and limitations supplied with
the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited time or under certain circumstances.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : No respiratory protection is normally required. If heated

material generates vapor or fumes that are not adequately
controlled by ventilation, wear an appropriate respirator. Use
the following elements for air-purifying respirators: Organic
Vapor and Formaldehyde. Use a positive pressure, air-
supplying respirator if there is potential for uncontrolled
release, exposure levels are not known, or other circumstances
where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate
protection. Dust safety masks are recommended when the
dust concentration is excessive.

Eye protection : Use of safety glasses with side shields for solid handling is
good industrial practice. If this material is heated, wear
chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields or a face
shield. If there is potential for dust, use chemical goggles.

Skin and body protection
: At ambient temperatures use of clean and protective clothing is
good industrial practice. If the material is heated or molten,
wear thermally insulated, heat-resistant gloves that are able to
withstand the temperature of the molten product. If this
material is heated, wear insulated clothing to prevent skin
contact if engineering controls or work practices are not
adequate.
